in four hours we will be gone.

We are leaving tonight to again see our friends in El Porvenir. our sweet little town that has become so familiar and so good to us.  We are excited but also anxious and also feeling unprepared and underpacked.  This summer has slipped by us with Dan in Radford all summer and me here in Chesapeake working a little and relaxing and anticipating this very night.  Yet somehow it snuck up on us.  Again, we have been so blessed by donations and fund raising.  Friends, churches, a good garage sale, and a lot of work from my mom have provided us with the tools and money we need to complete some projects this summer.  We will only be there for three weeks but our plan is to make some tables for the kindergarten we worked in last summer and hold a summer camp for the kids (were calling it 'gringo camp').  Dan and I have planned a bible study for the adults and are praying that it is good and that the Lord uses that to open doors.  We also have some new friends from home joining us.  Our little group includes Dan, me, Katlyn (my older sister), Riane (my younger sister), Christina (the volunteer who went with us over Christmas), Ellen (a great sweet friend/family member of all of us), and Laura (one of Riane's friends, but you could consider her one of the family as well).  This trip will be a little different because we are not staying in a volunteer house.  In fact just an hour ago we were unsure of where we were staying because of some minor changes but it is all figured out now and our friend Danny who lives there will be hosting us!  We are so excited. It is hard to express.  But if you follow this blog you know how sweet Honduras is to us.  Please be praying- specifically for health (no more hospital visits), bible study, and for the table building. Also we are traveling in two different groups so pray for safe travel.  We again will try to update the blog often- but no promises.  As I am typing this I am remembering a whole list of things I have to do before 3:30 am. Ah, so excited.

these little faces are waiting and we cannot wait to see them.
